Kim Shin Young Joins Knowing Bros as First Female Member?

There is a possibility that broadcaster Kim Shin-young will newly join the JTBC entertainment program 'Knowing Bros.' Kim Shin-young recently participated in the recording of 'Knowing Bros.,' and attention is being paid to whether she will become the first female fixed member in the program's history.

Kim Shin-young appeared in the February special episode "Living by Mouth" and left a strong impression on viewers with her outstanding entertainment sense and witty remarks. Based on this performance, positive discussions with the production team continued, and she continued to participate in additional filming.

A JTBC official stated that Kim Shin-young is currently participating in the program as a "special transfer student." While whether she will be confirmed as an official fixed cast member is still under discussion, the possibility of her joining as a fixed member is high, as she is scheduled to continue participating in future recording schedules.

If Kim Shin-young officially joins 'Knowing Bros.,' it will be the first time in 11 years since the broadcast began that the show will have a female fixed cast member. To date, 'Knowing Bros.' has been composed of male members such as Kang Ho-dong, Lee Sang-min, Kim Young-chul, Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Soo-geun, Kim Hee-chul, and Min Kyung-hoon, and after Lee Jin-ho's departure in 2024, it has been operated under a "daily Bros." system.

Meanwhile, Kim Shin-young recently caused controversy with the news of her sudden departure from KBS's 'National Singing Contest,' which she had led for 1 year and 6 months following the late Song Hae. Her agency stated that they received sudden notification of the MC change from the production team, and KBS officially announced that Nam Hee-seok had been confirmed as the new host. Kim Shin-young led the program with her skillful hosting and quick wit as the first female host of 'National Singing Contest.'
